Born in Venlo, Van Crooij played in the VVV-Venlo youth system and joined FC Zwolle in 2011 as their third goalkeeper.[2] He was released by Zwolle a year later and had a trial with Bulgarian side Etar Tarnovo, while playing for amateur side Kwiek Venlo.[3] That did not materialize and after two years at Deurne, he chose to rejoin VVV over a move to SC Gestel.[4] On 24 October 2020 he conceded 13 goals against Ajax Amsterdam as VVV-Venlo's goalkeeper, which is a negative record in Holland. The final score was VVV-Venlo - Ajax Amsterdam 0:13.[5]
He is Vito van Crooij's older brother.[6]
